In a compilation of true-life stories submitted by parents around the world, co-creators of the book They Lied! True Tales of Pregnancy, Childbirth and Breastfeeding Theresa Kane and Tamara Talbot provide an outlet for mothers everywhere to share their funny, priceless, offbeat and often touching stories of pregnancy and parenthood. Filled from page to page with real-life experiences that celebrate the entire childbearing experience, from pre-conception gymnastics to infants dancing while they nurse, They Lied! is truly a delightful read.

With a heavy dose of humor and an equal touch of candor, an hour reading this book is like an hour spent with a pregnancy and parenting support group. One reader says, “You can’t understand the total experience of pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding without reading this book.” If you’re looking for a break from all the medical information you’ve received from your doctor and other pregnancy books, consider adding They Lied! to your baby shower gift registry. After experiencing countless uninvited belly rubs and “leaking” breasts, you’re sure to find relief in knowing that many women before you have survived uncomfortable and often embarrassing situations. Hilarious and heartwarming, They Lied! does a wonderful job of enlightening a topic that sometimes seems overwhelming, and helps expectant mothers realize they’re not in it alone.

The New Breastfeeding Diet Plan

The New Breastfeeding Diet Plan is a must-read for any mother, although it would be better described by a title like A Guide to Nutrition during Reproduction. The information it provides is not only valuable during the breastfeeding phase, but also during pregnancy, after birth and beyond.

While the technical language used by authors Rountree and Block may be confusing as they explain how the body works and reacts to nutrients and minerals from different foods, it is well worth taking the time to analyze it and understand it.

The New Breastfeeding Diet Plan is the kind of book that you’ll want to keep close by for reference as it’s filled with helpful resources from where to get nutritious foods and organics to information on toxins found in breast milk and how to reduce them. It also includes a list of other books that focus on nutrition and recipes for families.

The authors’ expertise really shines through in every chapter of the book. Their voices are caring and understanding, making it a more pleasant read than some of the more cookie-cutter parenting books out there. And although it is dense with information, it is a relatively small book making for a quick read and a good go-to reference guide.

The bottom line? The New Breastfeeding Diet Plan is a great book that encompasses everything you need to know about nutrition for you and your baby. Pick up a copy here.
